Ja, nå begynner de "vanlige" flyselskap med å ta betalt for setevalg:
BA finding more ways to boost bottom line
Monday September 28, 2009 British Airways is introducing a charge for pre-selection of seats on Oct. 7, claiming that the new "service will give customers more control over their seating options."
The fee is applicable only to those passengers wishing to secure their seats more than 24 hr. prior to departure. Within those 24 hr., selection will remain free. The new charge will come to £10 ($16.23) per person per sector in economy on BA's domestic and European network, £20 on long-haul economy or short business-class flights and £60 on long-haul business class. Exit row seats in long-haul economy cost £50 per segment and can be booked 4-10 days before takeoff.
BA also reportedly has found a way to save £2.7 million per year by cutting meal subsidies for staff. Manager-UK Customer Partnerships Division Raghbir Pattar told BA News that the airline "historically" has spent more than £6.5 million per year on feeding employees. "This is no longer financially feasible," he said. "Cost savings will be delivered through simplifying the food range, reducing opening times where facilities are underutilized and implementing modest and proportionate price increases" beginning next week, he said, according to press reports.
